Black Market III–formed in the Fall of 2011 by Scottie ‘Mad Dog’ Blinn, former front man for the multi-award winning iconic San Diego band The Mississippi Mudsharks. He has been no stranger to doing 300+ nights a year with his former band, and is pushing Black Market III every bit as hard, if not harder.
Black Market III has quickly turned into a red hot band focused on playing hard hitting, soulful Blues, American Roots, and Rock (the vein of Social Distortion and the Clash). BMIII was touted as “the band to watch” by Dave Good of the San Diego Reader, and was nominated their first year for a 2012 San Diego Music Award (BEST BLUES). Read more here.
Recorded live March 13th and 14th, 2015 at the Pier View Pub and Brick By Brick. A CD that captures lightening in a bottle, the energy and excitement only a live performance can give when the band and audience feed off each other.
‘Vanarchy’ is a term coined by Roxy Coverdale that describes life in a touring band. This live CD is a culmination of years of hard work, thousands of shows, and touring the states and all through Europe many times over.
